You can now customize the Red Dot, Holo Sight, 2X, and 3X zoom reticles with different colors and shapes. There might be more options available for the other zoom levels when this feature goes over to Stable. The Hip-fire crosshair also has more colors to choose from.
PlayerUnknown's Battleground Mobile beta update 0.12 brings the famous zombie mode back. Meanwhile, the two new weapons, namely RPG-7 and Explosive Crossbow, can be used in the zombie mode.
The new bazooka is quite powerful in a battle and changes the entire pace of a match in PUBG mobile. Same goes for the explosive crossbow, finally the slow reload time and fire rate of the normal crossbow can be compensated with the new firepower. The explosive crossbow can be used to take down a group of enemies accurately.
The new crosshairs will drastically enhance the accuracy and performance of the player. Landing headshots will also be easier with convenient choices of crosshairs with color choices.

PlayerUnknown's Battleground mobile beta update 0.12 features a brand new companion option. The companion obtained in PUBG mobile will always follow you and will remain by your side. It's always a good choice to have a plus one with you, and the companion feature of PUBG Mobile is best for that.


Zombie Mode Changes
First up, the original Resident Evil: Survive Till Dawn zombie mode is now seeing the addition of some more weapons and characters. We now have a rocket launcher in the form of the RPG-7. I did not encounter the RPG anywhere, but I had the unfortunate pleasure of being one-shot killed by one. The weapon appears to be overpowered in damage (but may compensate with a short-medium range), and comes with 6 rockets and iron sights. But since RPG-7 is restricted to the Zombie modes, it will not affect gameplay in the standard modes.
You can now also spectate friends from the lobby itself, and there is an option to disable this feature.
When you spectate enemies (after they kill you), you can send them friend requests.
The lobby image now features in the inventory panel, which hints that more lobby themes/images may be added as part of additional, purchasable crate content.
The Quick Chat panel is seeing a rework that both, makes it easier to issue commands, and hides a good part of the display. I could not get the feature to work in-game, so it remains to be seen if it is a practical improvement for gameplay. The Portable Closet is also seeing a similar rework.
When the player opens doors, the animation now uses the character’s hands to push the door open, instead of magically opening the door through sheer willpower.
